Peter Neilson wondered:
<<What are the correct technical terms for a list with two columns,
where you can select items from the inactive column and move them over
to the active one? Or vice-versa.>>
I've found it convenient to think of this construction as two lists,
and to refer to them as the "include list" and the "don't include
list." If the lists can be long enough to display the scroll bar and
scroll box, I think of them as the "include scrolling list," or the
"scrolling include list," etc.
